Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a winning device suitable for a pachinko machine which generates a large number of winning balls at a time in a special game state which is advantageous to a player, and more particularly to a pachinko machine of electric power type.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is an electric-role-type pachinko machine as a pachinko machine that generates a large number of winning balls at a time in a special game state that is advantageous to a player. The pachinko machine has, for example, a variable display in the approximate center of the game board surface, and a start winning port for changing the symbols and numbers of the variable display depending on the winning of the pachinko ball below the opening and closing on the right side of the game board surface. Three winning devices having wings are arranged above and below, and when a pachinko ball wins the starting winning opening, the symbols and numbers of the variable display fluctuate, and the display at the time of the stop has a specific combination (for example, " 7, 7, 7 ”), a special game state that is advantageous to the player is reached, and the opening / closing blades of the three prize winning devices are interlocked with each other to generate a large number of prize balls at one time. .

Further, instead of the above-mentioned three prize winning devices, three ball entrances are opened up and down on the mounting board, and each ball entrance is provided with an opening / closing door which can be freely opened and closed in the front-rear direction. There is a pachinko machine in which the prize winning device is formed and disposed in the lower center of the game board, and when the particular game state is reached, each opening / closing door is interlocked to generate a large number of prize balls at a time.

[0004]

However, in the former pachinko machine, in the special game state, the pachinko ball is moved to the right side and strongly struck to win the prize in each of the three winning machines. As a result, the pachinko ball has a strong momentum and is often repelled by hitting an obstacle nail that is planted on the game board surface. If the pachinko balls are scattered in this way, not only are there a lot of dead balls, but it is difficult to concentrate them on each prize-winning device. Therefore, the number of prize balls is not stable, and the game cannot be finished in a short time. . As a result, there was a problem in that the service to the player was lacking and the interest in the game was reduced in the game.

On the other hand, in the latter pachinko machine, the three ball entrances provided with the opening and closing doors are collectively provided in one winning device, so that the pachinko balls are concentrated in the winning device. However, since three ball entrances are provided at the top and bottom, the entire device inevitably becomes large and it is difficult to attach it to a narrow place such as the lower center of the game board surface. Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems.
Stabilize the number of prize balls by using individual winning devices,
The object of the present invention is to provide a winning device for a pachinko machine, which improves the service to the player and raises the interest in the game, and further can be downsized as a whole and can be easily attached to a narrow space on the game board surface. is there.

[0006]

In order to achieve such an object, a winning device for a pachinko machine of the present invention has a horizontally elongated passage through which a pachinko ball can pass, on a mounting board mounted on a game board surface. On the back side of the mouth, a pair of ball receiving arms that receive the pachinko ball flowing down the front of the game board from the opening is juxtaposed, and each ball receiving arm is pivotally supported in a horizontal plane,
Further, it is appropriately projected by the driving means to the front surface of the mounting substrate through the opening.

Alternatively, the winning device for the pachinko machine of the present invention is
Opening a horizontally elongated passage and a ball entrance, through which a pachinko ball can pass, on the mounting board attached to the game board surface, respectively.
A pair of ball receiving arms that receive the pachinko balls flowing down the front side of the game board from the passages are juxtaposed on the back side of the opening, and an opening / closing door that receives the pachinko balls from the ball inlets is arranged in front of the ball entrance. Each of the ball receiving arms rotates in a horizontal plane, and is alternately projected to the front surface of the mounting substrate through a passage by exciting a solenoid. On the other hand, the opening / closing door is also rotated forward by the excitation of the solenoid.

[0008] In this way, since a plurality of prize-winning devices originally formed are aggregated into one prize-winning device, for example, when the prize-winning device is used for an electric-role type pachinko machine, a special game during a game is played. When the state is reached, it is easy to concentrate the pachinko balls on the winning device and the balls do not scatter, so there are few wasted balls. As a result, the number of prize balls is stable and the game can be ended in a short time. Moreover, since a pair of left and right ball receiving arms pivotally supported in the horizontal plane are juxtaposed on the back side of the through hole, one through hole can be used as two winning holes, and the entire device can be used. The miniaturization makes it easy to install in a narrow space such as the lower center of the game board.
